The 3 Convergent Boundaries!
At a convergent boundary, plates move toward each other and collide. There are 3 different types of convergent boundaries, the different boundaries depend on which types of plates come together.
The first convergent boundary i'm going to talk to you about is Oceanic-Continental Convergence, it is when an oceanic plate sinks under a continental plate. The place where the oceanic plate sinks under the Continental Plate is called the Subduction Zone.
The second convergent boundary is the Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence, and it is when an
oceanic plate meets another oceanic plate. The older, colder, deeper the oceanic plate bends and sinks into the mantle.
Continental-Continental Convergence, is when two Continental Plates collide and crumple up. The continental rocks are light, like two colliding icebergs, they go into a downward motion. Instead, the crust tends to buckle and be pushed upward or sideways.
